: Every unique combination of subdomain.domain.tld could point to an : arbitray other URL or IP. : For example : us.510.mail.example.com = example.com : de.510.mail.example.com = europe.mail.example.com I guess my question is this... if 'us' is the name of the node (machine) and 'example.com' is the registered domain name, what do the '510' and 'mail' parts uniquely identify? Why not just 'us.example.com'? jm -- My other computer is your Windows box.
